The Learning Partnership publishes action agenda on education
Federal and provincial policy makers, educators
and community leaders must develop a more collaborative and cohesive strategy
to address demographic challenges that pose serious risks to Canada's public
education system.
This integrated approach emerged as a key theme from a national series of
roundtable discussions, which examined the effect of immigration as well as
Aboriginal and rural populations on Canadian classrooms.
Hosted by school boards, universities, educational associations and
community organizations, the 11 roundtables have produced an "action agenda"
designed to enhance educational outcomes among these diverse groups and, in
turn, improve the economic prospects of individuals, families and the nation
as a whole. A summary of policy recommendations can be found at
http://www.thelearningpartnership.ca.
Established in 1993, The Learning Partnership is a national
not-for-profit organization dedicated to championing a strong public education
system in Canada through innovative programs, credible research, policy
initiatives and public engagement.
